A word to the wise – wind-in-your-hair freedom and adrenaline-charged whitewater rafting combined with a variety of other outdoor adventure activities will plaster a smile on your face that's ten miles wide. Cruising the pages of this website is only recommended for those who are ready to envision the time of their lives.

Even proper use of ACE may induce side effects such as uncontrollable laughter, intense happiness, family-togetherness, excited-osis and acute relaxation.

Thankfully the sun was shining, and we’d forgotten about those late night chants fantasizing about what we’d do to that $@#% weatherman if he said any more snowstorms were coming this way. Ahem.
